5. How to control the fixture
There are three ways to control the fixture
A. Universal DMX controller
B. Master/Slave operation
C. Easy controller (by CA-8)
A. Universal DMX controller
The fixture can be set the DMX address remotely by universal DMX controller. First, you
need to programming two scenes into a chase, and then link the fixtures to the universal
DMX controller. When you run the chase, all the fixtures of the chain will be set the series
DMX address automatically. The fixture uses four channels. Please refer to the following
diagram to set the address for the first four units.

12-
4Channels:
B. Master/Slave operation
The fixture will allow you to link 16 fixtures together and operate without a controller. In
Master/Slave mode, the first fixture will control the others to give an automatic, sound
activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an instant show.
The first fixture it’s DMX input cable will have nothing connect it, and the other fixtures will
be set in slave mode automatically. Their DMX input cables connect the last fixture DMX
output cable (daisy chain). Any fixture can act as a Master or as a Slave.
C. Easy Controller (by CA-8)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. There is a
terminator for connect the easy controller inside the fixture. By connecting the
cable into DMX IN waterproof cable entry gland to the CA-8 terminator of the
first fixture, you will find that the remote control on the first fixture will control all
the other fixtures for Stand by, Function and Mode functions.

6. DMX512 Configuration

14-
7. DMX512 Connections
The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.
2. Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output
of the fixture to the input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or
split to a “Y” cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded
connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX
circuit when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce
signal errors. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin
3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
5. Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by
the controller. The address number is between 1-512.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin1: GND, Pin2: Negative signal (-), Pin3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin1: GND, Pin2: Negative signal (-), Pin3: Positive signal (+)
Pin4/5: Not Used.

8. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The fixture does not work, no light
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and
DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB
of the fixture or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some fixtures don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the
master/ slave mode signal.
2. Wrong DMX address in the fixture. Set the proper address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.
E. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.

9. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning
frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or
particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.
